Has Mike ever analysed a Boney M song? They usually have a guy talking and lots of orchestral elements to them.

One of the subjects of your reviews a couple of months ago really tickled my interest but I've forgotten their name.
Hip hop style but with lots of orchestral samples, rapping sounded not dissimilar to Eminem in style. The song in question had a very clever self-reference highlighting where the bass had dropped out.
Ring any bells?
Hmmm. Well the mention of Eminem immediately suggested Eminem: 'Godzilla' or Logic feat. Eminem: 'Homicide', but I also wondered whether you might have been referring to Stormzy: 'Vossi Bop', because there's definitely some rap/bass arrangement interaction there. Failing those, though, here are the other hip-hop tracks I've critiqued over the past few months:
Hopefully one of those will be the one you were looking for!
Thanks Mike, but I've had a quick look and vexingly I don't think it's any of those! I could be mistaken though so I shall have a proper listen - thanks for fishing them out.

I appreciate that reference tracks are usually specific to the genre we're mixing in, but to get ten fine examples of, for example, best use of stereo width and depth, clarity in the low end etc, would be amazing and super-useful.
